    I hope we can stop referring to it has SWTOR, and change to TOR

    SWTOR just sounds weird and unnatural

    TOR is much easier to say and understand

    How are other people saying it? That swtorextreme guy says it like "swo-tor" which I thought was weird, I just say "S - W - T - O - R", or does everyone say "swotor"?

    But really, I just wish people would stop typing it as "ToR". It's not The old Republic...
    Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore

    The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

    ppl have been pronouncing it has "swotor"

    months ago Bioware called it "ToR"

    but i think that ppl had to add the SW infront

    since thats its offical name

    I guess WOTLK wasnt to hard to pronounce "Wotlock" or "Wrath"

    When I type I switch back and forth between TOR and SW:ToR, when I talk about it though I just call it "The Old Republic".

    Fortunately, we don't call World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, wowcat...

    ToR is perfectly acceptable and easier to say.

    Do people actually call WotLK "Wotlock"? I always called it (and still call it now) "W-O-T-L-K".

    Stop calling it "ToR" :S The "o" in WoW is small because it's "of". The "o" in TOR shouldn't be small.

    Same here. Everyone I know it's TOR. The only time I reference it as SW:TOR is in emails to people who may not understand what TOR means. I also pronounce it "TOR", not "T-O-R". Easier to say, easier to type, and pretty much anyone you'd even bring it up with will know what you're talking about.

    This is the only new star wars coming out right, nobody is really talking about any other type of star wars, so why not just refer to it as Star Wars?

    For a long time I didn't even know wth SWTOR meant, I just new it was a new game coming out

  12. #12
    i guess the O stands for Old

    that makes sense

    I call it TOR.

    My shitty easterner accent demands that I saw swo-tor. I think it has a nice ring to it, still nothing could be worse than saying World of Warcraft, not sure why but saying the whole name just gave a geeky tingle in my ball sack.

    I say Swotor, and it's most likely because of Kotor.

    I think people will stop doing that just as soon as you stop using 'has' when you should've said 'as'. :P

    Fair enough... don't ever type PvP again.

    Honestly... there is one in every thread...
